These Mother of Pearl oval beads measure 5x8mm and come on a 16-inch strand, giving you a generous run of genuine shell material with that signature luminous depth you can't replicate in glass or plastic.

Mother of Pearl carries its own natural finish — a soft, layered iridescence that shifts subtly in light, with creamy whites and faint overtones that vary organically from bead to bead.

What to make with them

String them as a standalone strand for classic pearl-style necklaces, or mix them into multi-strand designs where the oval shape adds gentle rhythm between round or rondelle elements; they're also well-suited to knotted silk work where each bead gets room to show its natural variation.

Natural materials vary in color, pattern, and size. The beads you receive may differ slightly from the product photos — this is a characteristic of natural materials, not a defect.
